The cycle of rise and fall in life offers lessons quite different from what one expects, often disrupting everything like a house of cards. The Nepalese people provide alternating opportunities to bring good governance, peace, and prosperity, while society continually evaluates an individual’s profile, intentions, and actions. The public anticipates that good governance, accountability, and transparency will eradicate corruption, and it remains to be seen whether noble deeds will fulfill the promises made to the electorate.
The cycle of life’s ups and downs imparts unexpected lessons. Without even informing those who proclaim “I am here,” it can scatter everything as if a deck of cards. Before even starting to shift to the left, ‘I’ and ‘we’ are quick to rush forward—this seems to be our habitual way. Consequently, survival in the market requires regular maintenance aligned with the pace of time. Pure intentions and omniscient individuals are scarce in the world.
Those around us, newcomers, and encounters in between often inflict the deepest wounds. What seems clean and impartial to ‘us’ may appear corrupt and opportunistic to others. Failure to act when opportunities arise or pass by causes tension in every individual. The Nepalese people are genuinely passionate yet quick to calm down by nature.
The public grants occasional chances to establish good governance, peace, and prosperity in the country. Society and the people continuously scrutinize a person’s profile, intent, and deeds. Those unable to adapt to the tsunami of time face ruin and are left behind everywhere. The desire to become successful, wealthy, and well-known grows in every heart.
Positions, money, power, and requests from close friends cause upheaval in everyone’s mind. The pursuit of quick happiness and yielding to momentary self-interest erodes a strong foundation. If the time is right, two guiding principles or slogans will spread like wildfire.
There is curiosity, Balen Ji, as the people now seek understanding, knowledge, and results. The people now say that with good governance, accountability, and transparency, corruption will be eliminated. Given the country’s situation, mindset, and circumstances, a clear majority has been granted. Whether noble deeds will fulfill the public’s pledge or the will is absorbed by self-interest remains to be witnessed.
